The essential elements in receiver performance are the RF amplifier and the 1st mixer. YAESU pursued the ultimate performance of these circuits. The RF amplifier has optimized NF points, and the over-sized wide range RF transformer exhibits minimum saturation in strong signal processing. The optimized devices were selected to guarantee superior multi-signal RX performance. The desired maximum performance

has been realized in the development of the FTDX3000 receiver circuitry. The FTDX3000 has the high dynamic range IP3 performance that was realized and proven in the FTDX5000.

IF DSP provides effective and optimized QRM rejection

The 32 bit high speed floating decimal DSP (max 2800 MIPS) provides effective cancellation/reduction (DNR) of the random noise that is frequently frustrating in the HF frequencies. Also: the AUTO NOTCH (DNF) that automatically eliminates the dominant beat tone, the CONTOUR, and the APF, are very effective receiver noise reduction tools in the HF bands operations. The YAESU original DSP QRM and noise reduction functions are provided.

Large and wide color LCD display

The 3.5-inch wide color LCD displays the operating information and the status of the transceiver functions, with high resolution (480 x 272 dots) on the screen. The various FTDX3000 functions are displayed on this LCD and provide the operator with easy to read operating information.

High Speed Spectrum Scope built-in

Although the FTDX3000 has only one receiver, a high speed Spectrum Scope is built into the radio. When in the Auto Mode, the Spectrum Scope display is updated in real time. The maximum bandwidth of the scope is 1 MHz, and the minimum span width setting is 20 kHz. The best desired span is selectable for the high resolution display. The current band activity can be monitored in real time.

The wave form of the AF SCOPE signal can be displayed on the TFT LCD. Also, the RTTY/PSK text may be displayed on the LCD.

Independent Frequency display_

The Main operating frequency is the most important display in the radio, VFO-A frequency is located just above the main dial. The newly developed LCD has a wider viewing angle and higher contrast for convenient and effortless viewing.

Other features

The specialized Receiver amplifier for 50 MHz is built in

Three antenna connectors are provided. The "ANT-3" terminal may be assigned to "RX-only"

Signal output for an external receiver and the 9 MHz IF output are furnished
